Rydges Tapae delightful

We were upgraded from deluxe rooms to suites, so our experience was even better than anticipated. The suites were spacious and elegant. The deluxe and superior rooms are not as nicely appointed but still clean and nice. The hotel is in an ideal location with great views of the city and mountains, and is small enough that the staff got to recognize us quickly, which always makes a stay that much nicer. The included breakfast was excellent. The beauty salon/spa is small but perfect for a foot massage, pedicure, or other restorative services at the end of a long day. The onsite travel agency with representatives in the lobby (Heyday) was very helpful and we booked a number of tours and cars and drivers through them for day trips. Coming in on a Sunday to find the outstanding Sunday market just down the street was a delightful surprise -- one of the best night markets we visited in Thailand. There is also an excellent small Italian restaurant in the alley behind the restaurant which was perfect for wine, good food, and people watching on the 2 table outside terrace. We loved Chiang Mai, and the Rydges was a large part of the reason why.

We found this hotel to be fine. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 05. Very clean, staff pleasant and a good breakfast. Beds are on the firm side but we like that. Pool looked nice but we were too busy sightseeing to use it. Great location and muc closer to city centre than many others.

We thought that this hotel was more than acceptable for the price. Our room was comfortable and spotlessly clean, bathroom was very good. During our thailand trip we stayed in mainly 5* hotels (including the Shangri-La, Bangkok), so I wasn't expecting too much from this hotel. I was very impressed with the standard of our room, it exceeded my expectations for this price category and I am very fussy!Breakfasts were a bit basic, but who needs breakfast with all that lovely thai food out there!Overall a great value hotel in a good location. No complaints.

Stayed two nites there this week. Would have preferred a hotel closer to the night market area but I was traveling with friends. The property is listed as 4 stars, my friend believes it is more like 3.5. The hotel lobby and rooms are decorated to reflect the Lanna architecture. I had to get used to the lobby, it is very nice once you remove one's American, western bias. The rooms are very large and very clean. The included breakfast is very good and blends western and Thai dishes. The staff is very polite and courteous. European tour groups book this hotel. The hotel is 20 minutes walk from the nite market, but there are stores, shops, and restaurants nearby. Try the outdoor restaurant just down the street that serves meals for 35THB! A very nice deal, try to book through and agent or online, the regular rate is 2150 THB.

I have to disagree with the other reviewer on this property. I have stayed at Rydges three times with groups and will be there again with a small group in October of 2005. As a former Director of Operations for Gray Line Tours I have travelled extensively and very much enjoyed this property. The rooms were large, comfortable, and most importantly spotless. The hotel staff was extrememly pleasant and very friendly. Our group was on the 10th floor and all rooms had a very nice view. Breakfast was a nice blend of Thai and American offerings and the waitstaff was very gracious. The loction of the hotel is central to everything and I would highly recommend this property especially considering the fantastic rates.
